Message from our Principal

Kia ora koutou,

It has been a fantastic start to the year, with both students and staff embracing our school values of Whanaungatanga, Manaakitanga, and Kaitiakitanga. We appreciate the efforts of our students and whānau in making school a positive and productive place for learning.

Attendance & School Representation

Regular attendance is critical to student success, and we encourage all students to maintain at least 80% attendance or better. Thank you to those who are making the effort to be at school regularly. A reminder that students must meet school expectations, including attendance and behaviour, to be eligible to represent the school in sports, arts, and other activities.

Devices for Learning

Students in Years 9-13 are required to have a device for their learning. If your child does not have access to a device, please ask them to see Mr Karri Butler for support. Choosing not to bring a device to school because it’s inconvenient to carry is not an acceptable reason for being unprepared for learning.

Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) – Blanket Consent

This year, we are introducing blanket consent for local, low-risk trips close to school. This means you won’t need to complete permission slips for every minor excursion, but we will still communicate with you about these trips in advance. Simon Finnimore sent out an email requesting permission for these trips. If you have not completed this, please do or contact Simon Finnimore. If permission has not been completed, staff will be in contact directly for these types of trips to seek clarification.

Whānau Teacher Interviews – Thursday 1 May

Whānau teacher interviews will take place on Thursday 1 May. There will be no scheduled classes that day, as we expect all students to attend their interviews with their whānau. These meetings are an important opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and goals for the year. More details will be shared closer to the time.

Thank you for your ongoing support in ensuring our students are engaged, prepared, and upholding our school values.
